The only thing that was mentioned in the article that is differnt to the PA1X is the guitar mode. Where were they when the PA1X emerged ? How come the Tyros was outselling the PA series before when virtually the same functionality exists in the new "king" PA2X ? Some one should be looking at where the reviewer gets their advertising revenue from becuase the trumpeting of these "new " features is just laughable.
See this is how manufacturers make their money. They rely upon people not digging into their instruments so that they can sell them the same instrument with a new gloss again. Absolutely genius.....
Couldn't agree more. This applies to our self-appointed experts, as well, who went gaa gaa (ga-ga?) over the PA800 although it was basically a scaled-down PA1x with a couple of minor enhancements and basically the same styles (after the free downloadable upgrade to the PA1x). As usual, all the ballyhoo lasted the usual 3-6 months it took to switch arrangers yet again. When will the 'flock' learn? Speaking of that, I'd better get the 'flock' out of here before the missiles start flying.
